Am I missing something, ...?
Absolutely. Several things. You're apparently missing several things. Among them:
(1) An adequate knowledge of Greek to understand that a single adjective can convey case, number and gender;
(2) A clue about what a pathetic and abject fool you've made yourself out to be;
(3) The wherewithal to admit when you've made a false accusation;
(4) The humility to repent and apologize;
(5) The clarity of perception that would allow to actually feel embarrassment;
(6) The desire to learn
I may have missed some. But it shouldn't matter. I doubt anything I listed above will register with you.

... or did you forget to show me where the word "men" appears in the original text?
Even if I were to show you where "men" appears in the original, I'm guessing you'd just respond with just another "anyway you slice it" assertion. It's obvious that you don't have the vidalias to admit that you were wrong and to apologize for your false accusation. It's also fairly plain that you're utterly incorrigible. That said, why should I think that showing you where "men" appears in the original would make a dent in your igneous skull?

btw... I am not an Open-Theist.
Then it's worse than I thought. At least, with Open Theists, I can blame their myopia on their false doctrine. In your case it must be sheer intellectual hebetude.
Sozo, just for fun, consider the following verses. Each of them has the phrase
"all men" in the English, but only has the word
pantas in the Greek [which you had the asinine temerity to claim did not occur anywhere in the Greek New Testament -- we're still cracking up over that one]. Ask yourself if the word "men" should be dropped from these verses, since neither aner nor anthropos occur in them. Then ask yourself where the KJV translators might've gotten the idea to add the word "men" in their translation, even though neither aner nor anthropos occurs in them.

By the way, I don't really expect you to do this. That would require something the existence to which you've not given a skoche of evidence: Rational faculties.
